Please note that these are the raw comments extracted from the scoping
meeting held at the location listed above. They were edited for the purpose
of clarity where necessary. A synthesis of comments will be available
soon.

Sanctuaries should be aware of the loss of the commercial fishing culture.

Concerned about Americans eating farm raised fish and garbage.

Concerned about loss of access to recreational lingcod fishery and fisheries
in general for preservation for future generations.

Get agencies to get all cards on the table and coordinate efforts to get
clear chain of command.

How can onshore residents help agencies and help fisheries resources?
More education.

Keeping sport and commercial fishery healthy.

Education about offshore impacts (overfishing, dumping of wastes, etc)
on health of marine ecosystem, in local communities.

Keep things the way they are, do not add more sanctuary.

Work with Fish and Game to publish research efforts so it will be public
information. (NMS)

Coordinate efforts between agencies for information to be public. Ex: press
releases and education in the broad sense.

Prohibition of oil exploration maintained.

Promote alternative energy sources.

Show evidence that sanctuary expansion will enhance marine resources (and
fisheries, if the evidence exists).

Like to see management as holistic ecology including humans and their commercial
and recreational needs in process.

Provide more access to sanctuary.

Education about impacts of road building, paving, logging, and agriculture
on marine ecosystem.

Management should promote sustainable resources, habitat restoration.
All parties should benefit and it should be a win/win situation.
Ecosystem approach to boundary placement. Look at wider ecosystem
(streams, outfalls).

Boundary should be extended to arena rock to prevent oil exploration/ development.
Avoid turning into industrial wasteland. Preserve local fishing too.
Not National Park.

Concerned steelhead restoration projects not yielding results. Do
not waste money on unsuccessful restoration. Fisheries important. Sanctuaries
should not prohibit fishing altogether. Fish and Game regs not all
sensible. Watershed damage from clearcuts.

Draggers damage seabed/ fish habitat, should be stopped.

Wants fishers and public involvement. Less adversarial approach by biologists
and agencies. Developing policy to include users.

Wants to know re: various jurisdictions and about boundary placement.

Wants integrated management among agencies and with public input. Establish
task force to implement.
